Four beautiful dice in the shape of Catalan solids, AKA Archimedean duals. These shapes have identical faces (perfect for fair dice), but irregular faces (unlike Platonic solids, e.g a cube). The 12 & 30 sided dice here have rhombus faces, and the 24 & 60 ones have kites.
Link to the Catalan solids on Wikipedia - they’re some of the most beautiful polyhedra around in my opinion.
